Verification

How we verify every channel

What we check before a channel is listed, while it's on sale and during the transfer — so the channel you get is exactly the one you saw.

  1. Step 1

    Registration date from YouTube itself

    The year (and exact date when available) comes from the channel's public YouTube record — the same “Joined” date anyone can see on the channel's About page. We never list a date we can't match there.

  2. Step 2

    Live stats from the YouTube Data API

    Subscribers, total views, video count and the latest uploads are pulled from YouTube's official API and refreshed every day. Each listing shows when its numbers were last checked.

  3. Step 3

    Studio screenshots from the seller

    Analytics, audience countries and channel settings are shown as screenshots straight from YouTube Studio — the parts of a channel the public page doesn't show.

  4. Step 4

    Advanced features only with proof

    A channel is marked “Advanced” only when a Studio screenshot shows the Advanced tier enabled. When Google changes that later, we update the listing and its Legacy Score.

  5. Step 5

    Availability checked before you pay

    Right before an order is placed we confirm the channel is still for sale, so you never pay for something that's already gone.

  6. Step 6

    Gone from YouTube = gone from the catalog

    If YouTube stops returning a channel (deleted or terminated), it is taken off sale automatically after two checks in a row.

  7. Step 7

    Ownership through Google, not passwords

    Every transfer goes through Google's own Brand Account invitation to your Google account. No logins are shared; after Google's 7-day security period you are the sole owner.

  8. Step 8

    Your money is protected until it's done

    If a transfer can't be completed, you get a full refund. Our team stays with you from payment to sole ownership.
